FreeBsd , I REALLY need some help :-)
Hi, I'm trying to install freebsd on an old i486 (75mhz) with 40mb ram I have two harddrives 260 and 349mb. I am booting with the kern and mfsroot floppies. I can get everything right and working following the documentation on the site up to making the root,swap,...etc. But when I finish this and the installation begins I get an error about no such device or media. It appears that the program can't find my cd-rom drive. It is a rather old 24x mitsumi cd-rom drive and it is set as slave to the primary harddrive. I cannot find a solution on this site. What should I do,where do I begin. Have you got any other suggestion considering my pc. By the way what kind of userinterface will I get with a minimum install??

First of all: it is absolutely possible to install a basic FreeBSD on this kind of hardware. I never had any problems with mitsumi cd-drives. Do you have a possibility to check if the cd drive still works correctly? (Perhaps with windows or on a different machine?) Regards, Uli. I am booting with the kern and mfsroot floppies.
